TOWN OF RUTLAND, VERMONT
ANNUAL REPORT
Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 2016
Rutland Town Report 2016
Rutland Town Report 2016
This town report is dedicated to Harold Edward Billings— farmer, lawmaker, advocate and public servant.
Harold was born to Jesse and Lillian Billings in 1941 and raised on his family's farm on Creek Road. He attended
Center Rutland and Park Street Schools, graduated from Rutland High School and from the University of
Vermont. He was a life-long learner, struggling with dyslexia but an avid reader of history, Native American
culture, world religions, and Stonehenge. He built his own stone circle on his farm, using native rock from the
surrounding hills. "Haroldhenge" remains a local gathering place.
Billings was a dairy farmer. Taking over his family farm after his father was badly burned, Harold modernized
the dairy operation, built the first milking parlor in the area and selectively bred his cows for high milk
production. But his work in farming didn't stop there. Harold also mentored those new to agriculture; his farm
on Creek Road became an incubator for fledgling dairy farmers, produce farmers, green house growers, a
horsewoman and a maple sugar maker.
Determined to ease fellow farmers' struggles, Billings became their advocate. He testified before the US
Congress, picketed the US Department of Agriculture, and joined in several ag-related lawsuits, including one
that went to the US Supreme Court. Harold served on boards of farmers' organizations, and was appointed to
state agricultural boards by Vermont governors of both political parties.
Harold Billings served Rutland Town well. He was a founding member of the Rutland Town Fire Department and
an active fire fighter, juggling fire calls with milking and haying. He was a long-time Justice of the Peace and
ballot clerk at many elections. Billings represented the Town of Rutland in the Vermont House of
Representatives from 1974 to 1982. He served on the House Agriculture Committee and championed the
adoption of the Vermont Seal of Quality. On the House Ways and Means Committee, he was instrumental in the
passage of the state's current us program which provides farmers with tax relief and helps preserve
undeveloped and open land.
After his retirement from dairy farming, Harold Billings volunteered for 12 years as a guardian ad litem for
children in Rutland Family Court, helping hundreds of area youngsters and their families. His work and
dedication won him a seat on the Vermont Human Services Board, a position he held until his death.
Harold Billings died on May 22, 2012 at his home on Creek Road in Rutland Town. His enthusiasm, creativity,
humor, passion for farming, and compassion for the underdog is greatly missed.

Rutland Town Report 201 6
To the Citizens of Rutland Town:
It is an incredible privilege and honor to recap the events of 2016 which took place in our great
municipality. Your five select board members are truly humbled to be able to serve and represent all of
you at Town Hall. I must thank Mary Ashcroft (Clerk), John Paul Faignant, Joe Denardo and Chris Kiefer-
Cioffi for selecting me to serve our great town as Chairman. As I look back through the history of our
town, I am proud to be one of the youngest to serve in this role!
The theme of our board in 2016 was, "Collaboration." We realized that we can accomplish more
for the town if we all work together. If you have had the pleasure of watching or attending one of our
meetings, there is a great spirit of collaboration from a passionate group of dedicated leaders.
Joe Denardo - John Paul Faignant - Joshua Terenzini - Mary Ashcroft
Missing- Chris Kiefer Cioffi
As a result of the March 2016 election, we saw two new faces join our board. Joe Denardo, our
former fire chief and Chris Kiefer-Cioffi were both elected by the voters of Rutland Town. They both "hit
the ground running" and got right to work. I must also recognize Joe Dicton and Don Chioffi who served
on the board in the beginning months of 2016.
2016 saw a mix of positive and negative economic changes throughout our municipality. We as a
board have always made attracting new business to Rutland Town a top priority. We wish to welcome
several new businesses which opened their doors, but we continue to worry about the economic health
of our empty mall. We are also excited about the new marketing initiatives coming from the Chamber of
Commerce and the Rutland Economic Development Corp. Their vision for the greater Rutland area
should really help attract new residences and businesses.
As we continue to strengthen our relationship with the City of Rutland, we once again lowered
the cost of the summer pool passes to Northwood for any Rutland City residences. We want to support
our neighbors in times of need, and with White's pool being out of service, this was a great opportunity
for us to show that we care as a town.

Rutland Town Report 2016
In June, we as a board were caught off guard by the resignation of our Rutland Town Clerk and
Treasurer. We got through this challenging void, but I must recognize Susan McGee, Mary Ashcroft and
Chris Kiefer-Cioffi for stepping up to the plate and filling the gaps. We are also very pleased with our
new Rutland Town Clerk and Treasurer, Kirsten Hathaway. Kirsten is doing a phenomenal job and we are
blessed to have her in that office.
This past fall, the board also voted to approve the new "Town Plan" which was developed by the
planning commission. This plan lays out who we are as a town, the great resources we have to offer and
our vision for the future. A copy of this can be found on our website or at town hall.
We also want to say a big, "Thank you," for your support of our new highway garage! This was a
building that was decades overdue. We celebrated early this fall with a ribbon cutting and "pie in the
face" fundraiser. The proceeds of this fundraiser went to the American Cancer Society.
None of 2016's success would have been possible without the talented department heads and
employees we are so fortunate to work with. I want to personally thank the following people; Joseph
Zingale Jr, Patty Carbine, Chief Ed Dumas, Major John Sly, Capt. Ted Washburn, Corp. Jim Gamble,
^toward Burgess, Marcia Chioffi, Kirsten Hathaway, Susan McGee, Byron Hathaway, Walter Tripp, Tom
Gallipo, Dick Lloyd, Bill Bauer, Mike Rowe, Fred Nicholson, Chief Frank Cioffi and the Rutland Town Fire
Department, Barbara Pulling, members of the planning commission and BCA, Marty Wasserman, and
any and all others who helped with another successful year in Rutland Town!
Please feel free to attend any of our meetings. Public comment is always welcome. After all,
this is your town!
Best Wishes-
Joshua C. Terenzini
Town of Rutland Chairman

Edward E. Dumas II
Chief of Police
January 13, 2017
The Rutland Town Police Department over the last calendar year has responded to and handled IllOcalls for
service, ranging from simple suspicious person complaints to felony complaints. This last year the Department
has had two more changes to our staffing operation.
Captain Washburn still continues to handle the bulk of the complaints coming into the Rutland Town Police
Department and again he tirelessly handles them well. He most recently attended the Leadership in Police
Organizations class sponsored atthe Vermont Police Academy and continues to educate himself in the police
field as our budget allows.
Jim Gamble John Sly
Lynette Gallipo
Ed Dumas
Ted Washburn
Major Sly is still assigned to the Rutland Town Elementary School as the School Resource Officer (SRO) during
the school year. During the summer months he works a patrol schedule along with Captain Washburn. Major Sly
this last year attended 2 SRO schools and a National Conference to become qualified as Rutland Towns SRO. In
addition to this he has attended the A.L.I.C.E. (Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, Evacuate) Training and is a
certified instructor. Not only does Major Sly work for us but has been utilized to assist local businesses as well
Rutland Town Report 201 6
as other businesses and organizations in the Rutland area. Major Sly has an extensive knowledge of our
computer systems and Is often used in this capacity.
CpI James Gamble continues to work part time for the Rutland Town Police Department as does a nice job in
this roll. CpI Gamble not only brings over lOyears of experience in the private section in dealing with Retail
Security but also most recently brings another level of training in the Mental Health Field.
Due to changes by the legislature, with laws and protocols, police agencies are required to furnish and publish
data, such as in the case of traffic stops. We as a department are required to turn in our stats and as you
can imagine going through hundreds of tickets and pulling the data off the tickets as well as written warnings
take a lot of time. In this case myself, Captain Washburn and or Major Sly would do this. But the select
board allowed me to hirea part time records person to do this job. This does two things. First it frees up
police officers to do what we are paid to do and secondly a part time records clerk can handle all requests for
data, organize all police reports and take care of NCIC requirements at a much lesser rate of pay than a full
time sworn Police Officer. So for the cost it is a tremendous asset to the police department.
Lastly, I have officially retired from the Rutland City Police Department as of August I s1 201 6 and became your full
time Chief of Police. In addition to this I work under a grant positon for the Rutland County Child First
Advocacy Center (CFAC). I still have time for administrative duties that need to be done as well as some patrol
time.
CFAC handles most all sexual assault cases for adults as well as children and serious child abuse cases in
Rutland County. Let me say this, I believe these type cases are some ofthe most important cases that can be
handled bylaw enforcement. Not only for the immediate actions that needs to be taken for these people, but
for the long term physical and mental health ofthe persons that are the victims in these types of crimes. What
we do as a community
will not only affect the immediate outcomes in people's lives but it will affect our communities, Families lives
for the next 30 years, either for the good or not so good depending on our actions today.
Thank you citizens of Rutland Town for your support, your patience and for supporting your local Police
Department's Budget.
Sincerely,
Chief Ed Dumas II

Rutland Town Report 201 6
2015-2016 Annual Highway Report
The big news this year was the completion of the highway garage that was started in
late 2015. The garage was accepted and moved into in early August. An open house
was held in September for the public to view the new facility. Many townspeople
stopped, toured the building, and had lunch. Gordon Billings as part of his eagle scout
duties organized, secured donations and coordinated tree and shrub plantings around
the new garage which dressed up the landscaping around the building. We at the
Highway Department appreciate having a place to do maintenance on town owned
equipment.
Paving this summer completed the paving program I wrote several years ago. All roads
in town have been reconstructed and/or paved since the year 2000. Paving this year
was as follows: West Proctor Road was reclaimed and paved, East Pittsford Road from
U.S. 7 to East Creek was reclaimed and paved, Simons Ave. from the falls to U.S 4 was
shimmed and overlaid, Old Falls Road was shimmed and overlaid, and Lynette Drive
was shimmed and overlaid.
Walter Tripp Byron Hathaway Tom Gallipo
A new line striper was purchased this year to keep our stop bars and crosswalks
painted and in good condition. The striper can also be used to put fog lines on our
busier class two roads. A fog line was painted on the East Pittsford Road to narrow the
vehicular travel lane and thus provide a pedestrian lane near the shoulder. A couple of
good comments from walkers and joggers have encouraged us to install more fog lines
next year.
A new five year plan has been written to maintain our roads in good condition. A portion
of the plan deals with some larger culverts in town that should receive replacement or
rehabilitation. Some grant opportunities will help us with these projects.
I would like to thank the voters in town for their continued support of the highway
budget. I would like to thank my staff and the local contractors that work with us in the
winter and on our summertime projects for all their help and expertise when needed.
Respectfully Submitted
Byron Hathaway, Road Commissioner

Fire Department Report- 2016
The Officers and Members of the Rutland Town Fire Department want to thank the
Citizens of Rutland Town for your ongoing support. The vast majority of the projects we
undertook this past year have been completed and at this time we are in the process of
upgrading the office at the McKinley station. This project is on track and should be
completed with-in the next few months.
Our next project will be the upgrading of our radio system so can talk between the
trucks anywhere in the town. Presently, we are unable to do so. The Fire Department
has again applied for a grant to replace our existing breathing apparatus. Our breathing
apparatus are approaching the end of their recommended use period.
The members of the Fire Department are constantly training to maintain their State
Certifications and learn new firefighting/rescue techniques. At this time we have several
members enrolled in Firefighter I and II certification programs and when they complete
them the Fire Department will have at least 30 members that have achieved Vermont
Firefighter I or greater certification.
The Department is continuing to promote Fire Prevention by involvement with local
businesses, building tours for department familiarization and the annual Fire Prevention
Program at the Rutland Town School for which we provide materials to the students that
stress Fire prevention.
After several months and many meetings the apparatus committee finalized the
specifications for the replacement of existing pumper/tanker Engine #1 . The
specifications were put out for bid and Toyne was awarded the bid for replacement. The
new Engine #1 is slated for delivery during the month of May 2017.
The Rutland Town Fire Department is always looking for new male and female
members. We have 3 levels with-in the department: Cadet Firefighter, 14 and 15 years
old, junior firefighter, 16 and 17 year olds and Senior members, 18 years old and up. If
anyone is interested please stop by one of the stations on any Wednesday night and
meet with the members, we are always looking for new members.

Rutland Town Recreation Annual Report
2016
This year the Recreation department had a great year with lots of children enjoying
the programs offered throughout the seasons. These programs would not be possible
without the help of the volunteers who spend countless hours working with the children
in our town. Northwood Pool enjoyed a great summer of warm weather and lots of
people at the pool, we had close to 10,000 swimmers at the pool this summer. This year
we again helped the city out with hosting the Rutland Area Swim Team, they held
practice at the pool each morning and we hosted a couple of big swim meets over the
summer. We intend to do the same during this summer as it worked out well for all
parties.
Chuck Hall John Trembley Mike Rowe
This fall Camron Wilk and his Boy Scout troop worked on his eagle scout project by
building a new set of bleachers at Northwood Park, they also were able to finish the
inside painting to the dugouts on the minors field as well. Thank you to Cam and all the
scouts who help make this a great project at Northwood Park.
This year we had the trail in Northwood Park behind the baseball field surveyed by the
grad students at UVM, this was done to create a template for a defined trail from that
end of the park to Chasanna Dr. We will be looking at the results and see what the cost
will be to create a shared use path, this will allow us to start creating a more defined trail
system within the park.

Rutland Town Report 201 6
Last summer the town purchase land that connects to Dewey Field, the plan use of
this land is to create better drainage around the area and to create more off street
parking in the park. We have started this process and will continue to work on this
project as we hope to remove the congestion of cars on the road and make it safer for
all who enjoy Dewey Field.
This year’s Halloween Party was a big success as it always is thank you to all the
people who helped out and who donated items for the party. Our fall, winter and
summer seasons were a very successful time, with large numbers turning out to
participate on our rec teams.
I would like to thank the Town Highway department as they have helped with keeping
the parks looking great and our maintenance men (Chuck Hall and John Trembley) who
have really done a great job of keeping the two parks in great shape.
This year we also held a couple of senior luncheons with our town seniors, the first
was aj Northwood Pool in the summer and the second one was held during the
holidays. This event seems to be growing each year and has been a big hit with all
parties involved. I would like to thank Jim Hall and Pat T ucker for all they do to help
make these events a success.
If you have any ideas on programing for the recreation department or would like to
help with our programs please contact me @ 779-2518, once again thank you for your
support of Rutland Town Recreation.
Sincerely,
Michael Rowe, Recreation Director

Rutland Town Report 201 6
2016 Annual Report - Town of Rutland Planning Commission
This past year the Planning Commission decided to meet once every three weeks instead of every two
weeks to better accommodate subdivision applicants. Rather than making applicants wait four weeks
for a hearing (since hearings must be publicized at least 15 days in advance), applicants can now expect
a hearing three weeks after filing an application and appearing before the Commission. Please refer to
the town's website or The Circle for the Planning Commission's meeting schedule.
Besides its regular business of reviewing and ruling on subdivision proposals, the Commission completed
work on amending the Municipal Plan that was last adopted in 2014. What started out as a project to
update the town's Future Land Use Map was expanded to include some significant land use changes:
• The AGR40 land use district was redefined to promote the town's working lands - agricultural
and forest-related - and the designations of some other parcels in town were changed to better
reflect current use;
"Viewsheds" or designated Open Spaces and Scenic Resources were added to protect the
town's vistas;
• And limits were placed on development in the Town of Rutland that could obstruct the air
corridor for the Rutland-Southern Vermont Regional Airport's Instrument Landing System.
As a result of testimony offered by residents at Planning Commission and Selectboard public hearings,
some of the new provisions mentioned above were adjusted and other modifications were made to the
plan.
Following its third public hearing, the Selectboard approved the amended Municipal Plan and Future
Land Use Map on November 29, 2016. The Future Land Use Map and Municipal Plan are on the town's
website, and a copy of each is available for review at the Town Office.
As always, the Planning Commission welcomes your comments and invites you to attend our meetings.
Please also feel free to contact us directly.
Respectively,
The Town of Rutland Planning Commission

Rutland Town Report 2016
Listers office
Town Tax Rates:
Homestead tax rate = $1.5351; Non-Residential tax rate = $1.6574; Municipal tax rate = $0.1437
Grand list values:
Real property = $620,120,600 Business Personal property = $222,244,453
Common level of appraisal (CLA) = 101 .41 Coefficient of Dispersion (COD) = 8.39%
Non-residential parcels are the commercial, industrial and miscellaneous properties that are not being
used as homesteads. Business personal property is the furniture, fixtures, equipment, machinery and
inventory that all businesses are taxed on. The COD and CLA are measures of uniformity that the State
uses to determine when it is necessary for Towns to do reappraisals.
Marcia Chioffi Howard Burgess
This has been a routine year so far in the Listers Office in preparing the grand list for next year. (Apr 1 ,
2017 to Mar 31, 2018) We typically see 150 transfers per year with approximately 50 of them being
actual transfers between sellers and new buyers. The CLA is determined by dividing Town assessments
by the sale prices and the new CLA for 2017 is 102.17 with the COD at 1 1.25%.
There was a slight decline in the municipal tax rate this year which is largely due to the fees collected
from the local option tax. The local option tax has been in place for several years and without this tax the
municipal tax rate would be around $0.35 to $0.40 per hundred.
Some recent shifts in the grand list were the loss of Sears and Rutland Plywood in 2014 at a loss of 7.4
million. In 2015-2016 there was an increase of 12.8 from Green Mountain Power Corporation when they
moved their headquarters and operations from the City of Rutland to Post Road in Town.
We do not expect the grand list to change much for the 2017 tax year.
Dean C. Davis
We are seeing new solar projects in Town but unfortunately they don’t contribute much to the tax base
due to the current low municipal tax rate of $0.1437. As an example, the Sun Edison solar site on
Seward Drive paid $2,422.20 in taxes to our Town. If this site were located in the City of Rutland who has
a municipal rate of $1 .57, they would have paid $26,463.92 to the City in taxes.
For questions or assistance call the Lister’s office at: 770-1898.

Cheney Hill Cemetery Annual Report
The mowing of the cemetery was put out to bid this year and BK Services was selected
from several bidders as the low bid. He was awarded a three year contract for mowing.
He did an excellent job this year.
A portion of the grass driveway was upgraded this year to a gravel driveway. Rick
Mckirryher was selected from four bidders on the project as the low bidder. We hope to
complete the rest of the driveway this year.
We would also like to thank Mckirryher Services for emptying the trash barrel at the
cemetery this summer. It was a big help keeping the cemetery neat.
Kris Kieffer Cioffi coordinated volunteer help to straighten the head stones and cut
brush at the old cemetery in Center Rutland by the Town Office. The old cemetery
looks much better thank you Kris.
The following officers were elected by the Commissioners
Chairman, Byron R. Hathaway
Vice Chairman, Robert Pinney
Clerk, B.J. Hathaway

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Board of Selectmen
Town of Rutland, Vermont
Rutland, Vermont
We have audited the accompanying modified cash basis financial statements of the governmental
activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and aggregate remaining fund
information of the Town of Rutland, Vermont as of and for the year ended June 30, 2016, and
the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the Town's basic
financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements
in accordance with the modified cash basis of accounting described in Note 1; this includes
determining that the modified cash basis of accounting is an acceptable basis for the preparation
of the financial statements in the circumstances. Management is also responsible for the design,
implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair
presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to
fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We
conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government
Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s
judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers
internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial
statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not
for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness
of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

Rutland Town Report 201 6
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a
basis for our audit opinions.
Opinions
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the respective modified cash basis financial position of the governmental activities, the business-
type activities, each major fund and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Town of
Rutland, Vermont as of June 30, 2016, and the respective changes in modified cash basis
financial position and when applicable, cash flows thereof and the respective budgetary
comparison for the General Fund for the year ended in accordance with the modified cash basis
of accounting as described in Note 1 .
Basis of Accounting
We draw attention to Note 1 of the financial statements, which describes the basis of accounting.
The financial statements are prepared on the modified cash basis of accounting, which is a basis
of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. Our opinions arc not modified with respect to that matter.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated
November 30, 2016, on our consideration of the Town of Rutland, Vermonfs internal control
over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws,
regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to
describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and
the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on internal control over financial
reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance
with Government Auditing Standards in considering Town of Rutland, Vermont’s internal
control over financial reporting and compliance.

Fiduciary funds - Trust and Agency Funds - are used to account for assets held by a governmental unit
in a trustee or agency capacity for others and, therefore, are not available to support Town programs.
The reporting focus is on net position and changes in net position. Since these funds may not be used to
address the general activities of the Town, they are excluded from government-wide statements. The
fiduciary funds consist of assets held for the benefit of the cemetery and fire. The Town does not have
any agency funds.

RUTLAND TOWN SCHOOL BOARD REPORT
School Board members and administrators have listened to residents and have worked extremely hard this year to develop
a fiscally responsible budget while supporting the education of the students in our community. The School Board is pleased
to report that our students are performing very well - at levels well above the state average. We are pleased to offer
educational opportunities which align with our community’s values while being fiscally responsible.
The School Board and administrators continue to be extremely sensitive to the financial burden of taxpayers in our
community and have made every effort to propose a budget which is affordable while meeting the needs of our students.
Your Board had difficult obstacles to overcome this year with few choices - a reduction in local revenue, an increase in high
school tuition fees and special education obligations, and decreases in state funding. Overall, our expenditure budget has
only increased 2.6% over the past ten years. Our proposed FY 1 8 budget has decreased 3.86%.
Please keep in mind that the 2015, 2016 and 2017 school budgets were bare bones. The Board and administrators continue
to hope that no unforeseen expenses arise. We have no control over high school tuition which has increased again this year.
All decreases must come from the pre-K through 8 th grade portion of the budget. We have cut an additional $3 10,339 from
the budget this year. We have made some staffing adjustments to address increasing enrollment totaling the addition of 2.5
teachers in the preschool and primary grades.
Our CLA (Common Level of Appraisal) increase is positive in the tax rate calculation. An increase in the CLA decreases
the tax rate. In addition, the legislature sets the property yield and statewide homestead tax rates after Town Meeting.
%
We wish to thank our voters for their approval of a modest $400,000 bond last year which allowed us to complete necessary
building upgrades including a security entrance, tiling, carpeting and ceiling repairs.
We have been working diligently as a member of the Act 46 Study Committee and, after 18 months of research, have a
proposal pending with the State Board of Education to remain as a single district within our supervisory union, allowing us
to maintain our high-quality leadership and services while continuing to offer PreK through 8 lh grade instruction with
secondary school choice as our community desires. There are two mergers which have been approved in our region whose
communities will vote on Town Meeting day. For more information on the Act 46 committee recommendation and process,
please visit the following website: https://sites.google.eom/a/rcsu.org/rcsu-rswsu/
We appreciate the hard work of our administrators, Mr. Aaron Boynton, Principal and Ms. Sarah Tetzlaff, Assistant
Principal, who continue to serve our students and parents very well. Our Superintendent, Dr. Debra Taylor, our central
office administrators, and school administrators continue to work hard with teachers toward our vision of excellence.
We would like to recognize the following teachers staff and congratulate them on their recent/upcoming retirements: Lynn
Book, Tedda Drake, Sandra Howe and Karen Pezzetti.
Many residents, parents and community members have generously volunteered their time and talent in support of the school.
Without your support, we would not have such a great community of learners! The Board would like to thank each and
every one of you for your time, talents and financial support. Without you, the voters, residents, parents and community
members who have supported the school district we could not accomplish the tasks necessary to meet our students’ needs.
Please contact any of your Board members or Superintendent Dr. Debra Taylor at 802-775-4342, extension 103 or email
debra.tavlor@rcsu.org if you have questions and/or concerns.

2017 Rutland Town School Principal's Report
Dear Citizens of Rutland Town,
In my 6th year as school principal, I am honored to be able to say that Rutland Town School
is strong and students continue to make progress in all areas. We are improving and refining
our instructional programs, opportunities for kids, and student supports to create a
standards-aligned, comprehensive, and engaging program experience for all students.
Personalizing learning is a high priority at Rutland Town School. We are focused on a
learner-centered model where students reflect on their progress and are more engaged in
their learning and achievement. It is a model that encourages higher student responsibility
and self-direction. Additionally, we are moving towards a proficiency-based grading system
that grades students on their progress toward proficiencies set forth in the Vermont School
Quality Standards. We are continuing to support student learning with excellent results.
As principal, it is important to communicate to you that we are responsible, in many cases
required, to support children beyond just 'reading, writing, and arithmetic.' Our one-to-one
student digital computing program has been incorporated into teaching and learning school-
wide. We work hard to balance student needs and strong school programs, while meeting all
requirements expected of 21st century public schools.
Parent and community involvement and support are key, and we appreciate your support of
our students. You are welcome to visit Rutland Town School. I would like to personally give
you a tour and would be more than happy to answer any questions you have. You can call
me anytime at 775-0566, extension 2003, or simply stop by.
Respectfully,
Aaron D. Boynton, Principal
Our Mission: 'We exist to ensure aCC students l earn at High Cevefs.

Dear Community Members,
We have made great strides in our schools enhancing instructional programs and providing a very high quality
education to our students. In my sixth year as Superintendent, 1 am honored to work with our dedicated staff, and
interact with our amazing students and committed parents.
We are firmly committed to ensuring high levels of learning for all our students. We are striving to achieve
learner-centered schools. Working toward this end, our classrooms and schools are centered on intellectually rigorous
learning, incorporating technology. We know that while we do many things well there are also areas in which we need
to improve^ We accept and embrace our responsibility to continuously improve to better meet the needs of each and
every one of our students.
Our administrators, faculty and staff personalize learning, develop potential and equip students with the ability
to think freely and independently by increasing student voice and choice. We aim to serve learners by allowing good
teaching to flourish, supporting growth and celebrating excellence. We nurture and reward professional development
and support curriculum, instruction and assessment that is transformative.
Our schools are continuing to move toward a learner-centered education model designed to help our students
become self-directed learners while providing accurate feedback about their progress. To learn more about this
transformative change, see this web link: http://www.rcsu.org/departments/curriculum This model:
• enables students to track their progress by aligning learning with a set of common proficiencies and clarifying
what success looks like;
• provides accurate, regular feedback to students around their performance toward meeting the proficiencies;
• gives students choices around when, where, and how to access and demonstrate their learning of the
proficiencies.
I would be remiss if 1 did not elaborate further on the exciting improvements in our 21 st century school
communities! We are continuing our initiatives and general philosophy of pushing the boundaries with technology. All
schools in our supervisory union will be participating in the 3D VT competition at the state level this year and are
getting 3D printing upgrades to make bigger, more detailed models. The makerspaces in every building are growing at
a lightning pace. Interactive distance learning video conferencing, green screens for video editing and multimedia
classes, as well as robotics programming program are taking shape! Plus, there has been a virtual reality curriculum
launched to capture the students' learning imagination and send engagement into the stratosphere!
Our School Boards appointed an Act 46 Study Committee to examine governance unification options in
response to requirements of this new legislation. After 18 months of study, the Act 46 Study Committee has
unanimously recommended a comprehensive plan to the State Board of Education:
1 . Merge governance of Poultney, Proctor and West Rutland to new Quarry Valley School District
2. Merge governance of Middletown Springs and Wells to new Wells Springs School District
3. Include Districts of Rutland Town and Ira in merged Supervisory Union
4. Merge Rutland Central and Rutland Southwest Supervisory Unions
Rutland Central Supervisory Union serves the schools and communities of Proctor, Rutland Town and Wesf Rutland.
Our Mission is to ensure that all students learn at a high level.
72
Rutland Town Report 2016
A governance merger lias been approved by the State Board of Education for Poultney. Proctor and West
Rutland to become a PK-12 unified district of nearly 1.000 students called Quarry Valley. One Board with
representatives from the three communities will govern the district. No schools will close and athletic teams will
continue to represent each high school. A governance merger has also been approved for Middletown Springs and
Wells to become a PK-6 unified district of nearly 300 students with secondary tuitioning called Wells Springs. One
Board with representatives from each of the two communities will govern the district. No schools will close. A
successful vote of all five communities on Town Meeting Day. March 7. is required in order for the Quarry Valiev and
Wells Springs mergers to go into effect on July 1, 2018.
Rutland Town and Ira are unable to merge as there are no like school partners available. Therefore, each of
these districts conducted a self-study to demonstrate that they meet the goals of Act 46 and the Vermont Quality
Standards. They also demonstrated that they are closely linked to the SU in this region through leadership and student
support. The committee recommends that these two districts remain in the newly merged SU. The State Board of
Education has received these reports and will take action on a future date.
Merging RCSU and RSWSU will result in 1 .8 1 7 students and four districts. By merging governance and
expanding our supervisory union region, we can better share resources and improve opportunities for students. The
State Board determines SU composition and they have received this recommendation. They will take action at a later
date.
4
The committee was unanimous in their recommendation for this comprehensive plan. We urge you to become
informed about the proposal. Please visit the merger website for more information:
https://sites.aoogle.eom/a/rcsu.org/rcsu-rswsu/
During the past year, we have also addressed building improvements. Thanks to our Rutland Town and West
Rutland communities for approving bonds to allow us to complete necessary building upgrades, security and energy
efficiencies. Meanwhile, both Proctor Elementary and Rutland Town have solar panels and Proctor has recently
installed pellet boilers. Thank you for your continuing support of our schools. Taxpayers reap the benefits of our energy
efficiency in real savings.
Our School Boards have worked tirelessly to prepare proposed budgets which are centered on our students and
dedicated to their learning while still within our community’s means. Developing a budget for students growing up in
our global society is a wonderful challenge. This year our budgets have been scrutinized and all demonstrate reduced
expenditures. To ensure maximum savings we have continued cooperative and centralized services for our schools at
the supervisory union including curriculum development, construction coordination, joint negotiations, coordinated
transportation, special education and food service. This and other cooperative efforts improve efficiency and maximize
our resources.
In conclusion, 1 would like to thank the many volunteers who have served our school communities throughout
the past year. Grandparents, parents, and community members regularly assist our teachers and support our students in
classroom and school-wide projects. We are so fortunate to have the support of our communities as we work together
to ensure that all our students reach their full potential. Thank you!
We invite you to review budget information in this annual report and visit our school and supervisory union
websites and learn more about our programs, services and successes. As always, feel free to call or email me or your
School Board members if you have any questions.
Yours in Education.

- Following current statute, the Tax Commissioner recommended a property yield of $10,076 for every $1.00 of homestead tax per $100 of equalized property value. The
Tax Commisioner also recommended an income yield of $1 1 ,875 for a base income percent of 2.0% and a non-residential tax rate of $1 .550. New and updated data will
likely change the proposed property and (he income yields and perhaps the non-residential rate
- Final figures will be set by the Legislature during the legislative session and approved by the Governor
- The base income percentage cap is 2.0%.

SWAC is composed of the towns of Benson, Chittenden, Fair Haven, Middletown Springs,
Pawlet, Rutland Town, Shrewsbury, Sudbury, Tinmouth, and West Haven and serves a
population of approximately 14,000 people. These towns cooperatively work to comply
with State laws and mandates managing solid and hazardous waste issues in an
environmentally responsible and cost effective manner. In 2016, SWAC
❖ Successfully complied with ail Year 2 of 5 ANR Solid Waste Implementation Plan/ Act
148 requirements. SWAC received approval of a new Solid Waste Implementation Plan
(SWIP) in 2015. The SWIP meets the requirements of the State's Material Management
Plan and delineates how solid and hazardous waste will be managed in the SWAC towns
for a five-year period. The requirements of the SWIP are extensive. All towns in Vermont
are required to be included in a SWIP. The SWIP is available on the SWAC website.
•> SWAC acts as a liaison to the State of Vermont representing the SWAC town's
interests on issues such as legislation, rule changes, SWIP requirements, and Product
Stewardship.
•> SWAC worked with the Vermont Product Stewardship Council and Product
Stewardship Council on Environmental Producer Responsibility (EPR) legislation.
>• Watch for information on the new prescription drug take-back law. The law
was passed in 2016. Efforts are currently underway to get the program implemented.
Because of Vermont’s EPR legislation, manufacturers now pay for the collection of
batteries, televisions, laptops, computers, monitors and peripherals, compact fluorescent
bulbs, mercury lamps, architectural paint, and batteries.
❖ Sponsored 11 FREE HHW events and contracted for year-round HHW drop-off service
at the Rutland County Solid Waste Management District Hazardous Waste Depot. The
2017 HHW collection events schedule is available on the SWAC website. Residents can
attend any of the collection events, not just the ones scheduled in their town. The events
are FREE to SWAC residents. SWAC promoted DEA sponsored Unwanted or Unused
Medication Collection programs throughout the year. SWAC collected 53.25 gallons of oil
based paint, 1,197.27 gallons of latex paint, 319.11 gallons of paint related, 44.31 gallons
of small paints, 448 aerosols, 1 pound mercury, 73.94 gallons of antifreeze, 28.58 gallons
of pesticides, 37.13 pounds of solid pesticides, 91.3 gallons of miscellaneous chemicals,
433.08 pounds of batteries, 4.75 gallons of acid, 407.63 gallons of motor oil, 536 compact
fluorescent bulbs, 3,232 linear feet of fluorescent bulbs, 52 ballasts, 41 propane tanks, 8
smoke detectors, and 6 used oil filters through its HHW collection events. SWAC also
collected 14 HID lights, 512 linear feet of fluorescent bulbs, 71 u-shaped fluorescent
bulbs, and 55 pounds of oily rags/speedy mix from small quantity generators.
Thank you to all citizens who participate in our ongoing efforts to properly recycle and
dispose of solid and hazardous waste. Remember the 4 Rs - Reduce Reuse, Recycle,
and REFUSE.

Rutland Town Report 201 6
Cheney Hill Seniors
To: Rutland Town Selectboard and Rutland Town Voters
The fiscal year 2015-16, has come and gone and with that the Seniors are planning events for the coming
year.
During July 2015, the Recreation Department under the direction of Mike Rowe, invited the Seniors to the
Northwood complex for a cookout. This was very well received by the seniors; as both the weather was
perfect and the staff at the pool was very efficient and took excellent pains to be sure everyone was taken
care of for the event. Thanks to all for a very good event indeed. Also, the Rec Department sponsored a
Holiday meal for the seniors at Seward's last December. Our thanks to Mike Rowe again for putting this
together for the group.
There were a couple of trips to The Thompson Senior Center in Woodstock, both of these trips were by bus
through the EOG (Elders on the Go) program, through Marble Valley Transit District. These trips are
arranged in conjunction with the Council on Aging, in Rutland, and cost very little to the group or the
passenger.
There is a Boat excursion at Lake George in July of 2016. This event has not been done for two or more
years. There are 10 people signed up for this currently.
/
When there 3 fe no trips scheduled, or visits to other sites close by, lunches are held on the third Tues of
the month at Seward's Restaurant on North Main St.at 11:30 AM. Contact Pat Tucker at 776-1066, for info
and reservations.
This past year three members of the group passed away, Hilda and Marshall Fish, and Janet Perkins. The
group extends condolences to the families and friends of the above, and their presence is greatly missed.
Once again our thanks go out to Rutland Town for all of the support needed to keep things going.
James B Hall, Treas, Cheney Hill Seniors

Vermont Department of Health Report for Rutland Town
Your local health district office is in Rutland at the address and phone number above. Come visit or
give us a call! At the Vermont Department of Health, we are working every day for your health. With
twelve district offices around the state, and state office and laboratory in Chittenden County, we
deliver a wide range of public health services and support to your community. For example, in 2015
the Health Department:
Supported healthy communities: Rutland Area Prevention Coalition, a program under Rutland
Community Programs, was awarded $100,000 to prevent youth smoking, encourage Rutland county
residents to quit tobacco and to eliminate exposure to secondhand smoke; along with efforts around
under age binge drinking. Rutland Regional Medical Center has been awarded a two year grant
($130,000 per year) from the Vermont Department of Health, Alcohol and Drug Abuse Programs to
focus on substance abuse prevention for the county. The efforts will be around reducing underage
and binge drinking (12-20); reducing marijuana use and reducing prescription drug misuse (12-25).
Provided WIC nutrition services and healthy foods to families: We served about half of all Vermont
families with pregnant women and children to age five with WIC (Special Supplemental Nutrition
Program for Women, Infants and Children). WIC provides individualized nutrition counseling and
breastfeeding support. We partner with grocery stores across the state to enable participants to use
a debit-like card to access nutritious foods. The average value of foods provided is $50 per person
per month.
Worked to prevent and control the spread of disease: In 2015 we responded to 286 cases of
infectious disease in Rutland County. In 2015, $13,916,297 of vaccine for vaccine-preventable
diseases was distributed to healthcare providers statewide.
Aided communities in emergency preparedness: In July of 2016, we participated in a large-scale
exercise in Rutland City in order to practice our procedures for distributing medicine to keep people
from getting sick in case of a public health emergency. For 2016/17, $32,475.00 will support
emergency preparedness capabilities at Rutland Regional Medical Center.

Rutland Town Report 201 6
Rutland Regional Planning Commission is a resource for towns; is a platform for ideas; and inspires a vision for our
future. We balance local desires, best practices, and regional growth for communities that are vibrant today and strong
for years to come.
We enjoyed working with Rutland Town last year, especially with Fred Nicholson and Jim Snee, who represented
your town on our Regional Board of Commissioners; and with Joe Zingale, for whom we provide general planning
assistance.
Our staff was pleased to assist the town with their municipal plan update and with edits to the future land use map.
With regards to transportation planning, RRPC conducted traffic counts on Post Rd, East Pittsford Rd, and Stratton
Rd, as well as attended a State Transportation Board hearing regarding Cop John and Farrell Roads. We facilitated
the Rutland Plywood brownfield project, and provided Section 248 and Act 250 project reviews. And lastly, RRPC sat
on the steering committee of the Stronger Communities Better Connections project.
Here's more about what RRPC does:
v
RRPC is a resource for towns. Rutland County towns can count on RRPC to provide the tools and information they
need to make smart decisions about land use, economic development, energy, transportation, emergency
management and more. From traffic counts and culvert studies and implementing new water quality and energy
planning requirements to assisting with grant applications and producing high-quality maps with the latest digital
data - RRPC’s team does what it takes to help towns get the job done.
RRPC is a platform for ideas. We create opportunities and provide space for people to learn, share and come
together around topics that matter and impact our lives. Some of the topics include: monthly road commissioner
meetings; local emergency management, and water quality solutions.
RRPC inspires a vision for the future. A cornerstone of our work is the Regional Plan; a document written by RRPC
with input from our board. The Plan articulates a vision for the Rutland region: economic, social, and environmental
resilience; incremental and long-term growth; urban design for humans; and walkable, connected communities. We
have been hard at work updating sections of the Plan and we’re keeping a keen eye on laws and rulings that impact
the Plan’s governing strength.
Thank you for the opportunity to serve your community and, in 2017, celebrating with us our 50 th year in the
Rutland region.
If you feel inspired to participate in local or regional planning; want to be paired with opportunities to grow your
community; or just want to learn more, please visit or give us a call; we’d love to hear from you!

the discovery, intervention, treatment and prevention of child sexual abuse, severe physical
abuse and children affected by violence.
CFAC, a fully accredited member of the National Children 's Alliance , serves victims and their
non-offending family members with the structure of a central agency through which reports of
suspected child abuse cases can be channeled for investigation and victim recovery. CFAC

This report describes the services that the Southwestern Vermont Council on Aging (SVCOA)
provided to elders in Rutland Town in 2016:
Senior Meals:
The Council helped provide 4,424 meals that were delivered to the homes of 26 elders in your

available to address those needs. If the elder desires, the case manager will link the client to
appropriate services, coordinate and monitor services as necessary, and provide information and
assistance to caregivers. Case managers also help elders connect with in-home assistance

Visiting Nurse Association & Hospice
Town of Rutland Town
To THE OFFICBHS AND CITIZENS OF RUTLAND TOWN:
In 2016, Rutland Area Visiting Nurse Association & Hospice (RAVNAH) provided Rutland County residents
with exceptional home care, hospice and community health services. From infants with hi-tech needs to our
most senior population facing end-of-life care, we continued to bring medically necessary healthcare wherever it
is needed, regardless of a client’s ability to pay, location of residence, or complexity of health issues.
In the face of shrinking government and state reimbursements and rising healthcare costs, RAVNAH has
continued to identify community needs and provide essential cost-effective health care services to some of
Rutland County’s most vulnerable individuals.
Last year, RAVNAH’s dedicated staff made more than 126.780 visits to 3.281 patients . In the town of Rutland
Town, we provided 2,453 visits to 110 individuals.
In closing, we wish to thank you for your past support. With your vote of confidence, we will continue to meet
our mission to enhance the quality of life of all we serve through comprehensive home and community health
services.
On behalf of our Board of Directors, staff and the Rutland Town residents who depend on our care,
we thank you. Without your dedicated support, we would not have been able to care for the
thousands of Rutland County residents who needed us. From homes to clinics to senior housing, we
have carried out our mission to bring medically necessary healthcare wherever it is needed,
regardless of one’s ability to pay, location of residence, or complexity of health issues.
In the face of shrinking reimbursements and rising healthcare costs, we once again ask for your
support. Specifically, we are requesting a combined Rudand Area Visiting Nurse Association and
Rudand Area Hospice appropriation of $6,500 from the Town of Rudand Town. This request
represents level funding for our services. So that your voters might better understand how the
money is being used, we arc recommending the following wording:
S/m// the /own apfnvpriate /he sum of $6,500 to support the Rutland Atva I 'isi/ing Nurse Association <& Hospice
in Fiscal Year 2017: $500 to support Rutland Area Hospice and $ 6,000 to support RAVNAH home and
community health services?
Enclosed with this letter of request, please find a copy of our 2016 report to die Citizens of die
Town of Rudand Town based on 2016 data and our 2015 agency Annual Report. We would be
happy to provide other supporting materials upon request.
Please do not hesitate to contact me at 770-1544 if you have any questions. Thank you again for
your ongoing support of our programs and services, and the confidence you place in us.
Respectfully,

As in previous years, the Rutland Natural Resources Conservation District (RNRCD) is seeking a contribution from the
Town of Rutland to support our many conservation programs/projects. We are a non-profit organization servicing the
Upper Otter Creek watershed, dedicated to providing on-the ground conservation assistance as well as promoting public
awareness and appreciation for the value, responsible use, development and conservation of our natural resources. We
respectfully request a $250.00 contribution to support our 2017 program.

In addition to ongoing work with the agricultural community, last year the District provided services that included:
Green Stormwater Infrastructure - With funding through the Ecosystem Restoration Program and Lake Champlain
Basin Program the District:
• Hired a contractor to install green stormwater practices that have been designed for Giorgetti Park in the City of
Rutland;
• Hired a contractor to design a stormwater swirl separator at the outfall of an existing 36” drainage pipe, in the
Adams Street right-of-way in the City of Rutland;
• Hired contractors to design and install green stormwater practices at Northwest School in the City of Rutland;
• Hired a contractor to design green stormwater practices at Rutland Town School in the Town of Rutland.
Stream Team - The District coordinated a Summer Volunteer Water Quality Monitoring Program in the City of Rutland.
Stream Crossing/Watershed Identification Signs - With funding through the Lake Champlain Basin Program (LCBP)
The District hired a graphic design company to design and print stream crossing/watershed identification signs. These
signs were installed in towns throughout the Upper Otter Creek watershed by Town Road Crews.
Vermont Envirothon - The District promotes the Vermont Envirothon, where the goal is to strengthen environmental
curriculum at the high school level. Teams of students answer questions about conservation issues and scores are
calculated to determine the winning team. We sponsored three teams from two high schools in the 201 6 statewide
competition.
We would greatly appreciate your support. We are not able to personally petition each town within the District, so we ask
that this contribution be included in the Select Board’s 2017 budget. Please let us know if you need an invoice.
Enclosed is an abbreviated version of our FY2016 Annual Report for your town report. Please contact me at the RNRCD
office at 775-8034 ext. 1 1 7 or nanci.mcguir e ffl) vt.nacdnet.net with any questions or concerns. We would also like to invite
you to visit our website at ww w .vacd.org/rcd

Caring for Families * Caring for the Future 2016-2017 Annual Report
The Rutland County Parent Child Center (RCPCC) is a private community based non-profit organization
Dedicated to supporting and meeting the needs of children and families throughout Rutland County.
RCPCC's mission is "to nurture Children and Families through Supportive, Positive Educational,
Experiences that enhance their Success in our Community". RCPCC provides all services at no cost, with
the exception of childcare, which is minimal for lower income families.
We provide childcare services at childcare centers in Brandon and Rutland. Additionally, the RCPCC
provides family centered services to families and children birth to five years, such as:
• Literacy based playgroups
• Early intervention programs for children birth to three years old with development delays.
• A teen parent education program that enables young parents to complete their high school
diplomas while learning parenting and life skills.
• Support for young families on public assistance.
• Parent education classes and referrals services.
• Traditional housing for pregnant and parenting teens (POISE)
Some of these programs serve families of all socio-economic levels, but as a priority, RCPCC seeks out
those in need to bring services into their homes and communities.
The Rutland County Parent Child Center is requesting funds in the amount of $500 from Rutland
Town in order to continue RCPCC's efforts to support families with young children in your community.
In 2016, Rutland County Parent Child Center served 6 members from your community.
Please contact me if you have any questions or need further information.
Thank you for considering out request.
Sincerely,
Caprice B. Hover

Dear Select Board Members,
On behalf of the Board of Trustees I am requesting that the library be placed on the
March 2017 ballot with a request of $89,774.00. This is no increase from last year.
The year 2016 has been a year of continued circulation increases in library services and
library use at the Rutland Free Library. This year we also made a recent change in one of its
professional services providers. Our new provider raised some questions about
interpretation of how we can use money from our Fox Fund Trust. In looking into this issue,
it is clear that the library has always been substantially in compliance, if not in strict
compliance, with the trust stipulations. Namely, we have always been using these funds to
support library materials and programs to benefit the public in the spirit of the trust. We
haye always strictly assured that no income from the trust be used for building, operating or
maintenance expenses. We've also had our finances reviewed annually by a professional
accounting firm to assure that these funds are appropriately spent and accounted
for. However, given the evolution of library services, for example electronic books,
interpretation of the trust language as originally written is open to different interpretations.
The Board is currently investigating to assure that we continue to apply the funds
appropriately from the Fox Fund bequest. Due to this recent interpretation and to make
certain we are in using our resources, we have found that the library is in urgent need of the
additional $2,941.00 for FV 2017-18 vs. this year (FY 2016-17).
This money is needed to cover staffing expenses related to health care increases and
other personnel costs associated with our union contract (an additional $23,288), and loss
of investment income ($20,000 less in FY 2017-18).
The library continues to supply critical free resources to those most in need in our
community:
- We average over 400 patrons walking through our doors each day.
- Over 11,500 people attended programs in the library this year, up from 2,455
people in 2013.
- Our circulation has continued to rise at 2% for the past two years, turning around
the previously declining trend.
Even with the support from the city and towns to replace our computers, we'll be running
a loss that will need to be made up from the other towns giving the same increase,
fundraising and grants, and cost-cutting measures including cutting back hours, services and
programs. All five towns that fund the Rutland Free Library will be contributing to this
funding proportionally.
